Eurovision 2017

[coldstream-1971]

I keep seeing Eurovision 2017 trailers on the beeb surely with our imminent departure from the EU this outdated program is no longer of relevance to us. Time to call it a day and we should call it a day?

Anne-Marie David and Vicky Leandros both very good singers.The first winner in 1956 was Lys Assia for Switzerland!

Nicole,Corinne Hermes,Sandra Kim,Celine Dion etc etc

[Cloverjo]

I don't think any decent singer or musician would go on that. Engelberg Humperdinck (sp?) didn't do too well.

^^^For UK, I meant.

[Mamyalynne]

No 'A' lister from the UK would touch the contest these days.

[Arrods]

Let's be honest, we'd come nowhere even if Adele sang one of her finest and no other countries competed.

[Bobsy]

THe points are the least interesting thing about this entertainment !

[ichkeria]

Yes vortex I remember Vicky Leandros - "Apres Toi" - very good!
There have actually been a few good ones occasionally

[grumpy01]

Yes Pearl Carr and Teddy Johnson came second as did Teddy's brother Bryan with Looking High.

[grumpy01]

In actual fact the UK have one on 5 occasions but has been runner up on no less than 15 occasions.

[grumpy01]

Doh! Won on 5 occasions.

Love Shine A Light was a great Eurovision song performed by a well known star. And the UK has rarely come close since because we continually pick anodyne forgettable dross chosen by people who probably don't even watch Eurovision. Although there are a lot of cringeworthy songs, generally the actual winner is a stand out entry.
